Description
Summary:P'ansori is a Korean narrative song form performed by a solo singer to the accompaniment of a drum. The style has received considerable academic attention from both Korean and Western researchers, but very few scholars have focused on the role of the audience and its impact on the establishment of p'ansori performance style. This article, therefore, addresses this issue, paying special attention to audience responses and their preferences for certain moods and styles of p'ansori song, illustrating the effect and influence the audience has had in the changes that have taken place in contemporary p'ansori performance and on singers' perspectives of their art.
